On Your Toes: Measuring Earned Value in an Agile World



Measuring earned value (EVM) on agile projects has long been a source of frustration for federal contractors.  At their core, EVM and the agile methodology appear to be vastly different – one requires a detailed definition of a project’s scope up front, while the other refines requirements over time.

Join Deltek, BDO and CGI Federal for a breakfast briefing on Wednesday, May 11 from 8:00 – 10:30 AM at the Hyatt Regency Tysons Corner Center as we bust the myths surrounding the battle between EVM and agile, and explore how contractors can simplify the measurement process to enhance project success.

Our experts will share best practices for setting up work breakdown structure (WBS), integrated master schedule (IMS) and agile tools to most efficiently get an objective measure of EV while maintaining vertical traceability, as well as discuss the Goldilocks theory of performance measurement for agile software development.  Additionally, they’ll share practical tips that can be applied regardless of the scheduling, cost, or agile tools used.
